Ending Games
You can end a Close Combat game in three ways:
• You can end any game by clicking the End Battle button on the
Toolbar. If you choose to end a battle, you suffer a minor, or worse,
defeat. The Debriefing screen appears, summarizing the ended
battle’s results.
• You can stop any game using the Abort Battle command on the
Game menu (Windows 95) or File menu (Macintosh). Unlike
ending a battle, stopping a battle carries no penalty for the side
choosing to stop. The Command screen appears when you stop any
game; stopped battles are not saved as part of a Campaign.
• You can exit Close Combat using the Exit command on the Game
menu (Windows 95) or using the Quit command on the File menu
(Macintosh).
The following sections describe each method for ending a game.
Ending a Game
You use the End Battle button to end any game without exiting Close
Combat. However, ending a battle is the equivalent of withdrawing
from the battlefield; the side choosing to end any battle automatically
suffers a minor defeat or worse.
To end a game
1 On the Toolbar, click End Battle.
A popup appears asking if you’re sure you want to forfeit the battle.
2 In the popup, click Yes. If you click Yes, you lose.
The popup and the Game screen disappear, and the Debriefing
screen appears.
Stopping a Game
To stop any game and return to the Command screen without exiting
Close Combat, you use the Abort Battle command. Stopping a game
carries no penalty to the side choosing to stop; unlike ending a battle,
the side choosing to stop does not automatically suffer a defeat.
Instead, the Command screen appears, and no victor is determined. If
playing a Campaign, the stopped battle is not saved.
